Please solve the following word problem: A company that makes grills has its daily costs represented by the equation C+285g+9000, where g is the number of grills produced each day. The revenue equation is r=550g. How many grills must be produced and sold each day to break even.
I think the cost equation is actually C = 285g + 9000. To break even Cost must equal Revenue so we have:
285g + 9000 = 550G
550g - 285g = 9000
265g = 9000
g = 9000/265
g = ?
